For those of you who sell your handmade goodies at fall crafts shows here is my number one seller of all time! Fabric Pumpkins!
For 25 years I sold my items at local shows during the fall and winter season. I don't sell my items anymore but I still love to make things and give them as gifts. So I share with you my number one seller of all time.
COUNTRY FABRIC PUMPKINS - they look good anywhere; as a center piece on the dining room table, on the fireplace, next to a scarecrow doll, on a porch, next to some fresh mums, etc... and they can be made by hand or by machine. Even if you don't sell fall crafts, their attractive and fun to make and display in your home. I made my sets in 3 different sizes using 3 different autumn fabrics.

Festive Country Fabric Pumpkins!

Cut a rectangle any size you want your pumpkin to be. Stitch up the side seam.

Using a running stitch, stitch up the bottom and pull tight to create a tube. Stuff tube with rice or beans 1/3 of the way and then with fiberfill. Add a stick from outside and Hand stitched closed. Embellish your pumpkins!
